Brief title for your desired feature:

Extended Keyword Management

How would you like the feature to work?

I would like there to be a module for managing keywords within Lightroom.

Why is this feature important to you?

The current drag & drop keyword management is clunky and does not work very well at all for large numbers of keywords. This is such an irritant that I and a number of other photographers I know have let our keyword hierarchies become disorganized.

The window is too small, even when all the other sub-panes are minimized. Dragging a keyword from one location to another in the list is very slow--you have to wait for the list to scroll. Spelling mistakes are common, here should be an option to change one keyword into another even when the target keyword already exists.

There should be a better way of organizing keywords, or at least a means for accessing LR's keyword metadata from an external application (i.e. a keywording API) so that someone else can do it.
